A Little Love

Sourdough Starter / My little shadow / chocolate hearts

This has been a week for hibernating. A week's annual leave for me, and a poorly flatmate meant that we have spent most days snuggled up watching Christmas movies and Parks and Recreation. On Tuesday we didn't budge from the couch and powered through The Holiday, Bad Santa, Miracle on 34th Street, Scrooged and Notting Hill (ok, that's not a Christmas film but it does meet the soppy requirements).

I've been coaxing my sourdough starter to grow in the hopes that I can soon make some delicious sourdough bread, although the white loaf that I've been making recently does disappear in a matter of hours. There's something deliciously comforting in fresh hand made bread smothered in butter.

Really, the thing I'm most grateful for this week is the time to relax. To read, to bake, to snuggle with the kitten and enjoy being cosy in my lovely little home.
